They Made Another One?!

They Made Another One?!

Every Wednesday Corey, Liam, and Mitch take a deep dive into franchise cinema, digging through the sequels, prequels, reboots & remakes that time forgot. Is it always a cynical ploy for relevancy and revenue? What does it take to transcend familiarity? Let"s take a closer look and see what these films have to offer. (Spoiler: sometimes, it"s not much.)

Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

They Made Another One?! ·

2021/02/24

Mitch is back and together we learn that some films defy basic description. As it turns out, there is a solution for that: rely on silly accents, the hilarity of DRACUUUUUL, and increasingly excessive, strung out food-based metaphors that mirror the aesthetic excess of the film as a means of masking what might actual be widespread disappointment, but frankly who the hell even knows. Mitch has no plugs so, uh, thanks for stopping by! Art by Jade Dickinson: @jadesketches on Instagram Custom soundbites

The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996)

They Made Another One?! ·

2021/02/17

John Frankenheimer returns to the podcast, and so does our pal Mitch for his fourth rodeo as we dive into the wild and dense production history behind one of Hollywood's most infamous bombs, analyze Richard Stanley's guerilla participation, and come away with three wildly different takes on the value of this movie before trapping Mitch for another week of podcasting at the hands of the William Castle Film Gener-o.

My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)

They Made Another One?! ·

2021/02/10

We can think of no more romantic way to celebrate Valentine's Day than gather around with your closest loved ones and watch a small town deteriorate through lies, intrigue, adultery, and one very angry miner -- AND, this episode features who we determined to be The Best Supernatural Boy, Jensen Ackles, and a pretty vicious takedown of theatrical 3D.

House on Haunted Hill (1999)

They Made Another One?! ·

2021/02/03

William Castle is the lovable, hokey king of gimmicky cinema, and what better time to discuss a remake of one of his films than when beholden to our new gimmick: the William Castle Film Gener-O, which selects what we watch on the show -- and an auspicious first choice. The movie walks a delicate tightrope between SCREAM and SAW, finding the sweet spot to bring fun haunted house thrills to life while also providing a helpful how-to guide if you're looking to kill your spouse at a birthday party.

The Man from Earth: Holocene (2017)

They Made Another One?! ·

2021/01/27

What would you do if you discovered your Neil Breen-esque religious studies professor was, in fact, a 14,000-year-old man who has paraded around the globe changing identities in secret while also becoming the inspiration for the one and only Jesus Christ -- you know, from Christianity? If your answer is stalk, kidnap, and attempt to kill them before your fanatical friends start a new religion, good news, you're gonna love this movie. You're also going to love this movie if you are just obsessed when

Police Story 4: First Strike (a.k.a Jackie Chan's...

They Made Another One?! ·

2021/01/20

In which we find shockingly little to say about a film that sees internationally beloved martial arts superstar Jackie Chan globetrot in search of nuclear warheads while doing the following: fighting a bunch of guys with a ladder; jumping out of a helicopter into a frozen lake; snowboard; kick a dude while wearing stilts; be scared of a shark; be very high up; drive a car onto a boat; and wear a snowsuit in the summer. If only there were more narrative than titles. Art by Jade Dickinson:

Scream 4 (2011)

They Made Another One?! ·

2021/01/13

In this episode we discover that Corey may well be the only living person to know absolutely nothing about SCREAM -- like, he's just fully and totally in the dark, it's borderline unbelievable. So, to hype him up for the inevitable viewing of SCREAM, we end up setting the foundation by taking a peek into the future with SCREAM 4, while also giving Liam a chance to reminisce on something he dearly loves. Two very different ends of the SCREAM spectrum here. Art by Jade Dickinson: @jadesketches on

Brahms: The Boy II (2020)

They Made Another One?! ·

2021/01/06

From the second we heard about BRAHMS: THE BOY II, we intended to see it in the theatre, but 2020 had other plans. So, to ring in the new year we're wrapping up this loose end and finally seeing what all the fuss is about... but the latent grasp of 2020 seems to have Corey in a bit of a Film Funk, so Liam takes the reins to analyze how BRAHMS compares with THE BOY and we recount our Christmas celebrations plus LIAM'S ENGAGEMENT!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS LIAM AND BRIANNA!!! Art by Jade Dickinson:

New Year's Eve (2011)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/12/30

We don't need to tell you it's been a bad, weird year. What we do need to tell you is that there's better ways to end your year than by watching NEW YEAR'S EVE, a bland movie about a holiday we're pretty sure no one cares about this much, and so we'll spend our time reflecting, getting engaged, and planning to get Dr. Dad on the show in 2021 instead of talking about the movie. Thanks again to all our wonderful listeners for hanging out with us for another year. We couldn't do it without you and it

A Christmas Story 2 (2012)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/12/23

We made a terrible mistake, and as a result, got ourselves the worst possible Christmas present this holiday season... the return of Brian Levant of THE FLINTSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS infamy. Join us as we discover our inevitable fate and spend as much time as possible stalling our yuletide woes before finally going in on, well, whatever this is. Shout out to Wallows.

Batman Returns (1992)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/12/16

James Rolfe may have scooped us on the BATMAN RETURNS is a Christmas movie discourse by a couple of days, but we're not going to let that get in the way of our love for him OR our attempt to continue building a genuine Christmas atmosphere in this weird year by galivanting around with a bunch of Tim Burton-y weirdos in a snowy art deco clown violence hellscape that is quite the thing to look at, but ultimately a bit of a mixed bag.

Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas (2014)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/12/09

For a lot of obvious reasons, it doesn't really feel like the holidays right now, so we're trying to do our best to artificially create that atmosphere with cinema. One of us is a bit more into Christmas than the other, so they're having an easier time, but ELF: BUDDY'S MUSICAL CHRISTMAS has big buckled shoes to fill if it wants to become a holiday classic -- is the Bazinga Boy up to the task?

Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 (1987)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/12/02

We try not to judge things by their cover on this show, or in this case, by their memes. As it happens, there's a lot more to SILENT NIGHT DEADLY NIGHT PART 2 if you're willing to get it a chance: a simultaneously resourceful and fascinating opening narrative structure, clever interweaving of previous material, uncanny strangeness in the lead character, bizarre tonal shifts, and the makings of something potentially spectacular. Then the trash truly gets taken out, and you can draw your own

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/11/25

The most important lesson we've learned over the last year and a half or so is that there's really only so much you can say about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So, we keep it brief this time, and we're still going to tell you everything there is to know about TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES III, the All Effects Company, and the profound influence of James Rolfe on our psyches.

The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/11/18

In a shocking exposé, the intro shows that some of us are frauds and not true, genuine fans of the Brady Bunch and it's various media. Will the non-stop bit parade that is THE BRADY BUNCH MOVIE correct that? There's a truly unbelievable amount of goofs to cover, and only so much time. Even still, one question remains unanswered: when will people start listening to Jan?

Friday the 13th (2009)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/11/11

You can't keep us away from horror for long, and while October may be over, our quest through the Big Franchises are not. Once again, why not start with the worst possibly entry point, the Michael Bay-produced reboot from the Year Of Reboots. You know it's a classic when you remember watching it on a PSP UMD. There's a lot to discuss, like the wild cold open, but mostly we're here to pitch you on Lil Jeff Voorhees. Art by Jade Dickinson: @jadesketches on Instagram Custom soundbites by Jason Deline:

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/11/04

Content warning: discussion of physical and emotional abuse, sexual abuse and assault, and incest throughout the episode. This one is a doozy. Whether you've seen the show or not, there's a lot to unpack with TWIN PEAKS as a cult favourite, cultural force, and David Lynch experiment, and to make sure we're up for the task we've brought back resident TWIN PEAKS superfan Madeline to help us work through it. It gets pretty harrowing, but there's lots of great discussion to be had -- more than plenty of

Oh god... the Spooktobrman... HE'S FINALLY HERE! AND HE'S... he's... he's looking for friendship? Nothing is necessarily as it seems in this Halloween Special which sees Corey, Liam, and FinalNeal trapped in peril across multiple locations, forced to deal with the Spooktoberman's sick game and rollicking improv comedy. It might feel like the walls are closing in, but never fear, your friends are here, with discussion of Halloween must-sees, classic costumes, watching movies in the woods, and telling

Instead, we finally bring back FinalNeal to debate his bad HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION opinions in a court of law, revisit his past AMERICAN PIE-nia with their latest, dive into the truly impressive and lengthy filmography of George Wilbur, and take the ultimate gamble... is Austin Powers still funny in 2020?

Are You Afraid of the Dark? (2019)

They Made Another One?! ·

2020/10/21

Our Spooktober celebrations bring us back to the small screen, seemingly with no Spooktober Man in sight for now. It's another reboot of a childhood classic with ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?, reminiscing about the original show and seeing how this mini-series manages to update things... but first we're going to spend a lot of time talking about the other scary things we've gotten to this season as well as LOVE ISLAND and LOVE ISLAND-adjacent reality TV programming so we've really got something for
